Fonterra unit promotes better bone health

A national public awareness program for bone health was launched in Shanghai on Sunday, the day before World Osteoporosis Day.

In osteoporosis, bones weaken and become susceptible to fracture. The disorder is a growing concern in all countries, especially those with large populations over the age of 50.

The program aims to give people a better understanding of the condition and encourage them to get involved with the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, which will improve the quality of life for everyone and reduce the national healthcare burden.
